Here are the probable starters and backups for all 30 teams. It’s a work in progress, to be updated every week throughout the season — most recently March 17 — reflecting injuries and role changes.
We list the ten players on each team expected to receive the most minutes. Not all rosters are equal in the NBA, or in fantasy hoops. Some coaches use short rotations; even their ninth man rarely contributes. Other teams are extremely deep — the Spurs have a few talented reserves we don’t have room to include.
Not included are a few injured players expected to miss a great deal of time. [Square brackets] indicate an injured player who could return soon enough to maintain his fantasy value. *Asterisks denote rookies.
Each player’s name links to his page in our Scores & Stats section. The three-letter team abbreviations link to their rosters and clicking on any small icon will open up the corresponding Team Page.
Version 6.1 (Updated Mar. 17): Mostly injury updates and a few minor role changes.
Version 6.1 (Updated Mar. 3): Many injury status updates; loss of Jason Smith for the season leaves Hornets with no backup C, so we improvised.
Version 6.0 (Updated Feb. 23): Many changes due to trades at the deadline; injury updates.
Version 5.3 (Updated Feb. 10): Removed Jason Richardson (knee surgery) and added Jeremy Pargo for 76ers, otherwise mostly injury brackets on or off.
Version 5.2 (Updated Feb. 3): Three teams (Toronto, Memphis and Detroit) have revamped lineups after the latest trade; dropped Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger (season-ending surgery) and updated injury status for many others.
Version 5.1 (Updated Jan. 27): Mostly injury brackets on (Chris Paul) or off (Raymond Felton) plus a few position shifts and the Cavs-Grizzlies trade.
Version 5.0 (Updated Jan. 20): After three weeks of neglect — we have been short-staffed in the fantasy department — there were massive changes.
Version 4.6 (Updated Dec. 29): Brackets on, brackets off. Some injured players returned (Steve Nash, Pau Gasol) and others got hurt (Jonas Valanciunas, Wesley Matthews), plus a few newcomers.
Version 4.5 (Updated Dec. 15): New players include Cartier Martin, Devin Ebanks and Andrew Nicholson. Position swaps (Marco Belinelli, Bismack Biyombo) and too many injury changes to list.
Version 4.4 (Updated Dec. 1): Several new players (including Josh Howard, Mickael Pietrus, Charlie Villanueva, Derek Fisher) plus position swaps and injury status changes.
Version 4.3 (Updated Nov. 24): New players (John Salmons, Dominic McGuire…) plus a few position swaps (Aaron Brooks, Gordon Hayward) and latest injury updates.
Version 4.2 (Updated Nov. 17): Latest injury changes, a SG swap for Detroit, new players (Rasheed Wallace, Linas Kleiza…) and a few position adjustments.
Version 4.1 (Updated Nov. 10): Injury status updates and a few minor position shuffles.
Version 4.0 (Updated Nov. 3): Results of the James Harden trade for OKC and HOU, plus a few role changes and injury status adjustments based on Week 1 games.
Version 3.0 (Updated Oct. 27): Rotations now correspond to our expectations for the regular season. Injury brackets on and off on multiple players.

Hello every one, here every one is sharing these experience, so it’s good to read this blog, and I used to pay a visit this weblog every day.
” Pizza was called (and is still called) tomato pie and pizza pie in certain parts of the States. Just be sure to sprinkle the bottom with cornmeal so the pizza will slide easier and pull the oven rack out so you aren’t likely to get injured while sliding it onto the pizza stone. You have to shake over the paddle of the openhandedly by taking use of the corn meal & then you have to put bread on the paddle ahead of mixing toppings within it.
You’ve made some decent points there. I checked on the net for more information about the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this web site.
Looking at the Orlando depth chart makes me cry and also thankful I have NBA League Pass.
Jermaine O’Neal has suddenly become a fantasy sleeper. With Channing Frye (heart) out for the year, J.O. gets an opportunity for regular minutes, and he had Regenokine treatment in Germany on both knees. It’s the latest technology; an athlete’s blood is spun in a centrifuge and the resulting serum is injected into damaged joints over five days. Recovery time is short and everyone reports improvement.
Obviously, no one can be 100% accurate, because in some cases the teams themselves don’t know, but I don’t get why when people make depth charts, they do it based on how they’d rate them and not how the players are actually utilized; it makes no sense.

I really appreciate the feedback and respect your opinions. We’re already planning a series of “Jump Balls” where internal disagreements among the three of us on the fantasy beat will be aired (and resolved) in public. You’ve identified many of those potential battles we’ll be looking at in depth over the next few weeks.
As far as the Suns go, your updated list is wrong. This website has it correct with Frye out for an unspecified amount of time and Markieff Morris’ stock continuing to rise. Also, at this time Telfair will most definitely be the backup point guard, there is speculation Marshall won’t see any regular playing time any time soon.
The blazers’ Elliott Williams just very recently tore his Achilles so Will barton will be replacing him on the depth chart. Also, thabo sefolosha starts over harden and pj3 will be backing up durant and ibaka with cook taking whatever minutes are remaining. Just a few things I saw…
Version 1.1 will reflect that change in Portland. As to Sefolosha/Harden, I made an exception. The starter is a deep-league-only afterthought and the “sub” is a fantasy stud.
I don’t play fantasy hoops but I still love the depth chart. Nice work!
Would love to start coming to Sheridan Hoops more often. I like this fantasy hoops page.
Does Sheridan Hoops have an iPhone app? I think there is a need for a good iPhone app that you can go to, to look at box scores on a nightly basis. ESPN’s iPhone box score user experience is poor in my opinion.
Great timing on your question. The Sheridan Hoops mobile app will be available very soon. It will be fast-loading, ad-free and only $1.99 on iTunes. Watch for an announcement!
I can stare at this for hours.
Also I don’t think the hornets play in Charlotte
Fixed. Thanks.
Thanks for the catch and the fix. You know, old guy brain cramp.
